Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

I think 44 is still way too high. It used to be 30 but I'm not sure they still measure the same places, it was a long time ago.

I found this that says 44 is within the 'excellent' range.

and this which gives AFL specific information on scores.

Still, I guess it's all for nought now. Best of luck, Hoops.

They must do it differently these days. I got the lemonade because I was 64.

Obviously not enough to, you know, get in shape.

That's what always bothered me about him (and Vez for that matter), you've got a tenuous grip on your dream career, why wouldn't you just eat less burgers?

Good luck to Hooper, I liked the kid, but at his height he couldn't afford to be the little fat kid (by AFL standards) that he was, and in that regard he's only got himself to blame.

I work with somebody who I would consider to be a reliable source on his career, and unfortunately according to him the shape he arrived preseason 2010-11 was terrible which is well documented. The worm shenannigans probably provides an insight into the type of break from the game he and the team had. Some players can do that and only put on a few kg's while others put on ten kg's. He's the latter.

Having OP was an unlucky break, though it might be argued if he was a bit leaner he wouldn't stress his body so much. For those doubting the impact OP has on performance, it's really hard to explain just how crippling it is.

Anyway good luck to Hooper, hopefully his AFL experience has taught him a valuable lesson in application for the remainder of his life.

Here are his tweets.

"@jmulligan31: As you all might be aware now. I am not at the Western Bulldogs anymore, I left 6 weeks ago, because I personally wasn't enjoying it anymore"

"@jmulligan31: It was a great place but not a place for me, I'd like to thank everyone at the club for giving me that opportunity, and everyone that"

"@jmulligan31: Supported me and the club, so goodbye for now and thanks for the memories #GoDogs"

Good luck to him, at least he's not leaving bitter and angry and he can say he did play at the highest level.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Would anyone be interested in Koby Stevens from WCE?

High draft pick from a couple of years ago, unable to break into Eagles' midfield, but has been playing well at WAFL level. He's a really good size, too. Likely to come cheapish.

... However, he is another inside midfielder of which we probably don't need - particularly if we intend on selecting Hunter.

Just saw Matty Panos on Bulldogs TV, they wouldn't put him on that if they were going to delist ��

I wouldn't assume the left hand talks to the right hand at the bulldogs. Lots of corporates don't so I wouldn't expect the Bulldogs would be.

Lucas Cook from Melbourne will be delisted. He was pick 12 in the 2010 draft so I'm not sure what he has done to get the flick so quickly. For anyone who saw this kid play in the juniors is he worth considering & did anyone rate him?

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Macca thinks we have a lot of talent on the list I'm not so sure he will delist many more, we as supporters make calls on some players from the outside but we have no idea what the club sees in some and the plans for them

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Did I hear right that his beets has gone from Melbourne he seemed to be a decent player

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Just went to bulldogs inside the kennel Hooper Mulligan And Moles cut with the 2 retirements that makes five Jason McCartney said we want five picks in the draft and elevate 2 to 3 rookies JJ Jong and Campbell . Talk of the 17 year old draft and Josh Caddy not much trading to be expected this draft except one player he wouldn't name depending on if he wants to stay at his current club. Still 3 to 4 players to get the chop.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

I would like to see Sherman play next year. We gave up a bloody good player and a decent pick to get him. He owes us big time and I am not prepared to write him off just yet. However, the coach has to get it out of his head that Sherman isnot going to crack in, he is an outside runner.

I don't think Macca expects Sherman to become an insider player, but if he isn't going to go in when its his turn, and won't do the defensive stuff required then there is no spot for him, particularly in a young team where we need the experienced players leading.

I have no problem with Macca taking this stance with him

I also think Sherman has talent, but Shermo has worn out the patience of Leigh, Vossy etc so he's far from the perfect player.

Thanks! Let the speculation begin on who that player / club is. For the sake of the speculation no is to say Bate!

I try:
Djerrkura
Veszpremi
Sherman
Tutt

Hard to know but I went for the outside types that don't crack in.
